  • Page 63: Ventilation Methods

    Ventway Sparrow User Manual 15. VENTILATION METHODS 15.1. SIMV-VC (PS)FLOW CHART In SIMV-VC, the patient is supplied with the set tidal volume VT during the mandatory breaths. The mandatory breaths are synchronized with the patient’s own breathing attempts. Mandatory breaths are prevented from being applied during spontaneous expiration, by providing that a patient- triggered mandatory breath can only be triggered within a trigger window.
  • Page 64 Ventway Sparrow User Manual 6. If no spontaneous breathing attempt is detected during the inspiratory trigger window, the machine-triggered mandatory breath is applied. The mandatory tidal volume (VT) results from the pressure difference between PEEP and Pinsp, the lung mechanics and the breathing effort of the patient.
